The New York Times on the Real Motivation Behind TRAP Laws

The New York Times - editorial:  Real Goal of Abortion ‘Limits’: Bans:

Anti-abortion groups that saw a chance to get state legislatures to restrict women’s reproductive rights piously declared that all they wanted to do was to make women safer.
